NHL cancels games through Dec. 30

Not unexpected. On the good side, they are leaving the door open for a start on New Year’s Eve.

Here is the press release:

NHL ANNOUNCES CANCELLATION OF 2012-13 REGULAR-SEASON
SCHEDULE THROUGH DECEMBER 30

NEW YORK (December 10, 2012)–The National Hockey League announced
today the cancellation of the 2012-13 regular-season schedule through
December 30. The cancellations are necessary due to the absence of a new
Collective Bargaining Agreement between the NHL Players’ Association and
the NHL.

A total of 526 regular-season games—42.8 percent of the season—were
scheduled for October 11 through December 30.
